Im so sad there is no CE for Killzone 2. :(

chaosatom6259d ago (Edited 6259d ago )

This article brings pretty good points, so I approve.

The Major thing holding back Killzone will be lack of Ads, more than a ps3 price drop.

But If ps3 price drop does happen, then Ads will automatically generate for Killzone 2.

WANNA GET HIGH6259d ago (Edited 6259d ago )

Sony needs to market this game as if there life depends on it.Im really serious, we cant have the same excuse that was used for lbp and other exlusive that did not sell how it was expected to.They need to start marketing this game as soon as they enter febuary and do not stop marketing till the hype of the game gose down or till like 1month later.

But the sad part is that is not gonna happen... :(

I think Sony executives feel there up here and the rest of the world is,

Down here they don't need to market there games they sell them self or something. Its sort of annoying the way they just ignore public opinion but at the same time that's what make them Sony I guess. And the PSX and PS2 are a prime example of there brilliance

IzKyD13316259d ago

"I cant say it enough, Sony needs to advertise. Sony wants Killzone 2 to be a very successful game, but you cant be successful if you don’t let people know about your great game. Just seeing a poster at Gamestop wont be enough for some people. Create a Ad on TV with a 30 second game play clip from Killzone 2, and your golden. Advertising such a good game shouldn’t be that hard."

Couldn't have said it better myself

MasFlowKiller6259d ago

Up until now the ps3 game have done average with 0 advertisement, i guess having advertisement is the only way to make the game a marketing success

Step 1. Keep it off of Xbox 360

Ryudo6259d ago

will11

Do some research your comment goes without saying...

The 360 has more chance of getting Legend of Zelda and Super Mario Then kill Zone 2.

you would think that sony didn't create the ps2.

RebornSpy6259d ago

but Sony has yet to get it right. Their games are selling well but not nearly as well as they could be. We'll see what Sony does to ensure awesome sales for Killzone. It deserves them.

tplarkin76259d ago

They were both marketed heavily to mainstream audiences. Gears is particularly a good example since it was a totally new IP. MS had trailers in movie theaters for Gears.

chaosatom6259d ago

Just Show some Gameplay footage on Tv and people will be lining up in no time.

Nitrowolf26259d ago

sony needs to market this game. Do that tjing with GS where they tell you to pre-order it and stuff

LeonSKennedy4Life6259d ago

It's up to the individual employee. Most right now will only market Resident Evil 5 to you...since it's on the 360.

Why Guerrilla Games Shouldn't Abandon the Killzone Series

Hugely disappointingly, it seems that Guerrilla Games, developers of the Killzone and Horizon series, may be done with Killzone for good.

1 was fine, overhyped as a " halo" killer
2 was a graphical beast at the time, and felt heavy
3 was good a refinement of 2 but not much else. weird audio issues environment were to quiet
shadow fall was pretty but bland

OtterX499d ago (Edited 499d ago )

Shadowfall had great Multiplayer though. Too bad the campaign was meh at best. It did have the occasional great moment sprinkled in.

TheNamelessOne499d ago (Edited 499d ago )

I played through 2/3 multiple times. I played through the original once, but it felt pretty lukewarm for me. I couldn't be bothered to beat Shadow Fall. I got a couple hours in and just went "I'm done". Never touched it again. It was awesome on the tech side, being a launch title, but it didn't even match up to the first game when it came to actually having fun playing it.

Rude-ro499d ago

3 in 3d was an amazing experience to be had.
Although not many experienced it as intended for good reasons.

just_looken498d ago

You forgot the ai advancements on the playstation 2 killzone one you could have a full team of bots doing everything even playing the objective that was a big thing.

In killzone 2 they always flanked you and when available used the high ground.

Playing killzone 2 no hud 5.1 audio was/is awesome

MDTunkown499d ago

They should finish Horizon story first

darthv72499d ago

I dont mind if someone else takes up the mantle for the KZ franchise. We are several years removed from the first game. It certainly could use a remake to gauge interest in the rest of the series. I know it has its fans... Im thinking of how a proper reboot can rekindle that old dormant flame and bring in a new generation of fans in the process.

just_looken498d ago

You forgot killzone mercenaries on the ps vita but it was the worst selling sony game for awhile there.

Yui_Suzumiya498d ago

Yeah, a remake would be pretty awesome

anast499d ago

They should let it go or sell it. No use spending millions on this project.

LucasRuinedChildhood499d ago

Would like a new IP before Horizon 3. Just because games take so long to make these days.

PlayStation 3 Games That Desperately Need a PS5 Remaster

The PlayStation 3 may not have been the strongest generation for Sony, but there were still some diamonds in the rough that deserve a revisit as PS5 remasters.

Even if they could just remaster and put on PSVR2, some would still look great as VR titles and could do a whole lot to bolster the headset w these exclusives! I'd imagine the investment of reworking these titles into VR would be way less than building new games from the ground up, and they could be amazing experiences, and VR often makes flat games feel fresh again. The Resistance and Killzone games are particularly what I want to see!!

Rude-ro728d ago

I played killzone 3 in 3d and it really changed the game per being immersive.
In vr, that would be even more awesome.

darthv72728d ago

Funny you mention that... my son wanted to play some PS3 games in 3d on my PS tv and he was blown away by how good KZ3 was. It really was a great addition to the game. Im surprised there have not been more 3d games from that era being ported to the PSVR/VR2.

_SilverHawk_728d ago

resistance 1-3, killzone 1-3, uncharted 1-3, uncharted golden abyss, folklore, socom 4 , motorstorm, twisted metal, MAG, heavenly sword

Cacabunga727d ago

Killzone 2+3
Sly Thieves in Time
Crack in Time
God of War Ascension
Motorstorm
Modnation racer
Infamous 1+2

Profchaos727d ago (Edited 727d ago )

Killzone trilogy in VR would be amazing bonus points if they offer shadow fall.

There was a psvr1 Killzone project that supermassive was working on at one stage which wasn't up to scratch and Sony brand it back in house I was hoping we would see that on psvr2 eventually.

Personally I'd love to see some more love or acknowledgement of psvr2 from Sony in general it was a expensive headset and Sony barely acknowledge it's existence

seanpitt23727d ago

The amount of work needed to remaster these games wouldn't be beneficial on a financial and business sense.. MGS4 would probably be the best bet as it would need the least amount of work!

Iceball2000728d ago

YEAAASSSSS! I miss this franchise and wanna play it so bad again.

Father__Merrin728d ago

The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer

InUrFoxHole728d ago

The resistance series is str8 trash to me. Socom 3 I would welcome. Or killzone MP.

Marcus Fenix728d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989728d ago

That's what Bungie should make, Ill keep saying it until it happens

1Victor728d ago (Edited 728d ago )

Resistance was ok but Warhawk and Starhawk was better and kept me coming back for almost a decade of fun and petty revenge on the loud mouth unskilled players 🤣
Edit I loved capture the flag dropping the pot on the flag carrier was extremely satisfying as well as transforming your plane in bot form and stumping them to death 😱

Michiel1989728d ago

Resistance was the best co-op fps I ever played after L4D2

Up there with the top tier in the industry. Love Guerrilla Games - Horizon Burning Shores is simply STUNNING.

1Victor1032d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1032d ago

Same. They nailed it with Horizon. The trouble is I also want a new Killzone! Can't I just have it all?!

jznrpg1031d ago

I’m with you I want Horizon 3 , Killzone and new IPs

badz1491031d ago

I have yet to play Burning Shores as I just started Forbidden West (bought at launch, just unwrapped last weekend LOL) and playing on PS5.

man...I still can't believe the graphics especially now I'm playing it on my LG OLED. that graphics and with stable performance backing it up, GG really is the master of their craft!

Vengeance11381032d ago

32.7M sales in the Horizon franchise! With 8.4M coming from Forbidden West alone! Truly a hugely successful game and franchise as a whole. Looking forward to Horizon III

Shane Kim1032d ago

That's kind of a huge drop though. It's only been two games.

VersusDMC1032d ago

One year after realease HZD sold 7.6 million.

https://www.noobfeed.com/ne...

So not a drop off.

Unless you're saying a HFW should have sold as much now as HZD sold in 5 years?

Vengeance11381032d ago

It's been 3 games, this includes Call of the Mountain. Also no, its a great improvement over HZD.

solideagle1032d ago

lol you are comparing:

HZD: 28 February 2017 - May 2023 (6 years+)

HFW: 18 February 2022 - May 2023 (1 year+)

We will see if it surpass original number.

Phoenix761032d ago

@shane, 2 full main games, 2 DLC add ons, 1 VR spin off game, oh and a an official LEGO set.
Not too bad for an ip that's only been on market for 6 years

REDGUM1031d ago

Wow, very impressive. I didn't know the numbers were so high for Forbidden West. Still playing through it myself

thesoftware7301032d ago (Edited 1032d ago )

Yooo, when I first saw that Killzone 1 footage at E3, my friends my brothers and I were like, Holy shit! When it came out, it didn't look exactly like it, but we sunk so many hours into 1 & 2.

I even liked Killzone: SF, it was a spectacle to look at, and even today it looks good. I hope they make a new one. Can you imagine how that will look, and they can get some modern FPS pointers from Bungie.

blacktiger1031d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1032d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

The Decima Engine is absolute 🔥 I'm just mad they have abandoned Killzone.

OzzY-waZZy1032d ago (Edited 1032d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1032d ago

They are probably working on mutiple projects. One of them is Horizon 3, but another is a multiplaer game and probably somehting else.

Imalwaysright1032d ago

There were rumours that they were working on a Socom reboot.
